Description (last modified by )
It would be very handy to include the traceback that triggered the Django debug page inside a HTML comment in the footer of the page. Quite often you might get a debug-page HTML output from tests or other places where it is inconvenient to try and find the actual cause of the exception - you have to page up through many kilobytes of HTML content to find the cause of the exception.
If we can include just a raw Python traceback in the footer of the debug page as a HTML comment then this will be immediately discoverable in such situations. print(html_response)
and curl
would both show it without needing any scrolling or grepping.
As a concrete example:
print(html) .... lots of text </div> <div id="explanation"> <p> You’re seeing this error because you have <code>DEBUG = True</code> in your Django settings file. Change that to <code>False</code>, and Django will display a standard page generated by the handler for this status code. </p> </div> <!-- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/path/to/example.py", line 4, in <module> greet('Chad') File "/path/to/example.py", line 2, in greet print('Hello, ' + someon) NameError: name 'someon' is not defined --> </body> </html>
